The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora took out a Transcendent Tier weapon in order to deal with Adrian. She immediately used a powerful force to create a snapping sound as the bone whip snaked its way towards Adrian. Adrian casted Prankster to try and switch places with Grandmaster Lason but he was not able to.
[You were not able to bend time and space due to the effect of the Spine of Regret.]
Adrian was instead teleported away from the area where the Spine of Regret was about to hit. He then saw that the space itself was destroyed by the Spine of Regret. In fact, it was not space that was destroyed but the mana used to activate the Prankster skill.
The Spine of Regret is a powerful weapon that carries anti-magic properties. It has the ability to destroy any magic circles that it comes across or any magic formation which is why it is a treasured weapon of the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora. She only uses it when she is definitely cornered because she has yet to fully refine the weapon to claim it as hers.
The reason she was farming mortals all these years was to have enough power to destroy the ego of the Transcendent Tier weapon. She planned to fuse the actual weapon to her own spine so that she will become even more powerful. She believed that the Spine of Regret is her ticket to becoming a lesser god.
"I will make sure that I will kill you, demon brat!" The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora stated as she started to use the whip more aggressively since she noticed that Adrian's magic was destroyed.
"A bit troublesome but I can manage." Adrian stated as he casted Mischief towards Grandmaster Lason since he noticed that he was trying to prepare something.
Adrian thought that he would be able to stop Grandmaster Lason from the task that he was doing but the Spine of Regret suddenly snapped in the area where he placed Mischief. The mana that was supposed to detonate the ability suddenly fizzled out when the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora used her whip to destroy it.
"I see. It is not just the ability to destroy magic formations but also increasing the sensitivity of the wielder against mana. No wonder she was able to destroy it with ease." Adrian thought as he noticed that something changed with the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora.
"This is bad. The weapon is taking too much out of me just by wielding its abilities. I already lost twenty bodies worth of energy with the attacks earlier. I need to kill that demon before he does something else." The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora but she knew that she also has to stick to protecting Grandmaster Lason.
Adrian once again used Mischief at Grandmaster Lason but it was dealt with by the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora. Adrian knew that she was protecting Grandmaster Lason more than ever as if they had a plan that could overthrow him. Adrian became amused but he also knows that his time in this form is limited which is why he also needs to speed things up.
"Die!" The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora shouted as she used more energy into the bone whip and aimed it towards Adrian.
Adrian did not panic and used Prankster once again but the location he chose now is different. Adrian usually appeared a few meters away from the bone whip, but he appeared in front of Grandmaster Lason. The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora is shocked by the sudden frontal appearance of their foe, but Grandmaster Lason was already done.
A flask with black liquid could be seen on Grandmaster Lason's hands as he destroyed the bottle. The contents of the bottle suddenly sprayed towards Adrian as he is affected by Forbidden Potion Number Three.
"Ha! Tremble as Forbidden Potion Number Three will petrify even your blood! The Gorgon Potion shall be your downfall." Grandmaster Lason stated as he was confident that Adrian would be trapped.
[You have been afflicted by Forbidden Potion Number Three: Gorgon Potion.]
[Your health has been decreased by 5%.]
[Your Trickster skill has been activated due to the damage that you receive.]
[You have been afflicted with Absolute Petrification.]
As Adrian's body was about to be turned to stone, he suddenly felt something leaving his body. He then noticed that his actual body turned into a spiritual entity and left a husk. The husk that he left is none other than the Trick that the Trickster skill has produced, and he is now invisible.
[You have entered the Invisibility status.]
[Your next damaging attack will critically strike due to the effects of Trickster.]
"You did it!" The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora stated.
"This is what arrogance brings you! I was able to create the most powerful petrification potion because of your carelessness. You can now destroy the demon that has turned into a statue so that we can leave." Grandmaster Lason stated.
"Gladly!" The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora stated as she directed her bone whip to the clone that was petrified.
The moment that the clone was hit by the bone whip, it exploded in such a grand way that it also released the stone shards at the two demigods. The two demigods were dumbfounded by the reaction as they were damaged instead of killing the demon.
[Your Trickster clone has been destroyed and dealt critical damage to the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora.]
[A stack of Chaos has been applied to the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora. The stack of Chaos has afflicted the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora with 50% of the effects of the Forbidden Potion Number Three: Gorgon Potion.]
[Your Trickster clone has been destroyed and dealt critical damage to Grandmaster Lason.]
[A stack of Chaos has been applied to the Grandmaster Lason. The stack of Chaos has afflicted Grandmaster Lason with 50% of the effects of the Forbidden Potion Number Three: Gorgon Potion.]
Adrian did not expect that the destruction of the Trickster clone would activate the guaranteed critical strike, but he liked it. The lower bodies of the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora and Grandmaster Lason started to become petrified as they were affected by the Forbidden Potion Number Three: Gorgon Potion.
"How does it feel having a taste of your own medicine? This is very ironic that the potion that you brewed will be your own downfall." Adrian asked Grandmaster Lason as he suddenly appeared on top of the two demigods. The two demigods could not believe their eyes as they could see their enemy without a single cut on his body.
"Oi! I thought that you afflicted him with the potion!" The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora shouted as her lower half as completely turned to stone while her upper half was still functioning.
"I am as dumbfounded as you!" Grandmaster Lason stated as he took out a potion from his subspace.
Adrian immediately activated Prankster as soon as Grandmaster Lason took out a potion. Adrian focused this time and used Prankster to move the potion from Grandmaster Lason's hand to his. This all happened in a quick fashion that Grandmaster Lason did not even noticed that the potion has already disappeared from his hand.
"All Cure! Good stuff." Adrian muttered as he is now holding a vial of golden liquid on his hands which was not there before.
Grandmaster Lason looked at his hand and saw that his treasured All Cure potion is no longer on it. He suddenly felt overwhelming despair as that exchange has cemented his standing against Adrian. The arrogant demigod that sneered at Adrian is no longer looking at the latter with contempt but with despair.
The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora saw what happened, but she will not go down without a fight. She immediately snapped her bone whip and aimed it towards Adrian. Adrian already knew that he was going to be targeted which is why he just stepped aside. The bone whip that was supposed to hit Adrian is not about to hit Grandmaster Lason.
The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora immediately retracted the bone whip with all her strength as she knew that Grandmaster Lason is the only that is able to cure the petrification that she is subjected to. Due to the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora forcefully reeling in the bone whip, she actually coughed out blood as she used more life force to stop her attack than do it.
"Intriguing." Adrian muttered as he did not expect that she was able to forcefully use that bone whip to such a degree.
"It is hopeless. Spare us. Please." Grandmaster Lason muttered as he started to shake from despair.
"What are you doing! We can still win." The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora stated but she was actually just telling herself that.
